For the last couple of years, Amazon has been expanding its business in the home automation market. With the acquisition of Philips Hue, it is now also offering the possibility to control your home with your voice.

This is something that has never been possible with the Philips Hue system. You can now control your home from anywhere, even if you are not physically present.

This is the first time that the Amazon Echo has been used to control a home automation device. It was also the first time that the ability to add custom tasks was introduced.

Now you can add a task that will be executed when you say “Alexa, tell Fabulous to check the status of the garage door”.
